Description
Since Real World Miscanthus will have a pre-determined ship date that you choose at the time of purchase, other products purchased in the same online transaction will have a second shipping charge. Feel free to make 2 transactions or purchase everything at one time but understand that Miscanthus will have a separate line item for shipping since it goes out from our facility at a predetermined date.
QUICK ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS:
1.) How will it do in wet areas that flood? Answer – Not good – this product does not like wet feet. Consider Real World Switchgrass
2.) How much sunlight do I need? Answer – Think of Real Worlds Giant Miscanthus as you would corn. Giant Miscanthus and corn require the very same growing conditions. Both needs full sunlight, adequate rainfall, and freedom of competition from trees, weeds, etc.
3.) Can I dig up and replant rhizomes and transplant to other areas? Answer -NO! The Giant Miscanthus that Real World sells is a patented cultivar and protected by patent laws. Real World works closely with and under the supervision of the patent holder who requires us to report any sales over a certain volume. This is no different than the patented technology in the agricultural seed industry where harvested grain seed cannot be replanted.
ABOUT REAL WORLD GIANT MISCANTHUS:
For years our customers have been asking us if Real World was ever going to come out with a plot screen product. We tested a lot of different annual plant species but they all fell short (pun intended) of earning the Real World label. While some looked great while growing and early in the fall, they would all fall over once the plants died. We refused to sell a product that we knew would ultimately not do what was expected of it.
Real World Wildlife Products president Don Higgins first planted miscanthus grass on his farm several years ago and was so impressed with what he saw and the potential that this plant offers the wildlife land manager that he put in considerable time and effort learning more about this extremely tall grass. When he discovered that there are different varieties of miscanthus he arranged for the Real World team to visit different university, corporate and private test plots around the country. After looking at numerous miscanthus cultivars the Real World team focused on one specific variety that they felt would be the very best for screening and other habitat applications. They then negotiated with the patent holder of this specific variety and ultimately signed a contract to market it. MAKE NO MISTAKE, REAL WORLD GIANT MISCANTHUS IS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER MISCANTHUS! It gets as tall as any other miscanthus but has more leaf for better screening. Dare to Compare!
